How To Get Stickers in WeChat

When it comes to stickers in WeChat, don’t worry, you’re already in the know. The app provides a selection for you to choose from when expressing yourself. To find stickers, simply look for the icon with a heart, along with emojis and other media you’ve loaded into WeChat.

Now, if you want to get new stickers, there are a few options you can explore:

Save stickers you receive

Tap into the power of social media and start collecting new stickers from your friends or group chats. Whenever you receive a sticker that catches your eye, simply press and hold it, then select the option to “Add to Stickers” from the menu that appears. This way, the sticker will be saved and ready for you to use, conveniently located right next to the heart icon.

Explore the WeChat sticker store

WeChat frequently adds new stickers to its app, and many of them are free for you to enjoy. To access the sticker store, follow these steps:

1. Open a chat screen and tap on the emoji icon at the bottom.
2. In the bottom left corner of the emoji screen, tap the ‘+’ symbol.
3. Browse through the different sticker options and choose the ones you like by tapping ‘Get’.
4. Repeat as many times as you wish to expand your sticker collection.

Try third-party sticker apps

If you’re feeling adventurous, you can explore third-party apps on both Android and iOS that offer additional stickers for your WeChat experience. Take a look at your app store and see what catches your attention, making sure to read the reviews and choose one that looks promising.

Create your own WeChat stickers

So, you want to have some cool stickers on WeChat? Well, I’ve got a great idea for you – why not create your own? It may take a little bit of effort, but trust me, it’s totally worth it. Plus, it gives you the chance to be completely original. You can use a GIF from anywhere, but I highly recommend checking out repositories like Giphy.

1. First things first, find a GIF that you like and save it to your phone or computer.
2. Now, it’s important to resize the GIF so that it’s less than 500KB. This is because WeChat has some size limits, and you need to make sure your sticker fits within them.
3. Once you’ve resized your GIF, save it to your phone.
4. Alright, now open a chat in WeChat and look for the sticker icon. It’s the one next to the heart at the bottom of the screen.
5. Click on the ‘+’ icon by the chat window, and select the option to add a sticker from your phone.
6. Finally, choose your newly resized GIF and add it as a sticker. Ta-da! You’ve just created your own WeChat sticker.

By the way, if you need help resizing your GIF, there’s a really handy website called GIFMaker that can do the job for you. Just upload your GIF, choose the desired size, hit the “Resize GIF” button, and you’re good to go!

Now, some people I know find it easier to create their stickers on a computer and then transfer them to WeChat using WeChat Web. If that sounds like something you’d prefer, here’s how you can do it:

1. Open WeChat Web on your computer.
2. On your phone, make sure you’re logged into WeChat and scan the QR code displayed on the WeChat Web screen.
3. Once you’re connected, you can use the File Transfer option to directly send files from your computer to WeChat on your phone.

Pretty neat, right? You can transfer not only stickers, but also music, videos, and other files this way. It’s definitely a skill worth having if you’re a WeChat enthusiast. And once you’ve transferred your sticker, you can access it just like any other sticker in WeChat.

If you’re feeling extra talented and creative, you might even want to try out for WeChat’s sticker submission program. This is where you can design your own sticker, submit it to WeChat, and they may consider adding it to their official sticker store or even the app itself. The website for this program is mostly in Chinese, but hey, don’t let that stop you. If you’ve got some graphic design skills, give it a shot!

So, that’s how you can get stickers in WeChat. Do you know any other cool ways to get them? Maybe you have some suggestions for great sticker sources or apps? If you do, we’d love to hear from you! Just leave a comment below and share your insights.
